Title: Switchable sectored and omnidirectional base station for cellular communication system
Inventor: WANG JING
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2007-08-07
Abstract: A base station arrangement for a cellular communication system comprises a plurality of antennas (101-105) where each antenna (101-105) has a different coverage area. The base station arrangement can operate in a sectorised mode and a non-sectorised (or omni-directional) mode controlled by a mode controller (119). When in the sectorised mode, the base station arrangement provides an individual broadcast control carder (BCCH) to each antenna (101-105) of the plurality of antennas (101105) thereby supporting a plurality of cells each having a coverage area of the corresponding antenna (101-105). When in the non-sectorised mode, the base station arrangement provides a common broadcast carrier (BCCH) to all antennas (101-105) of the plurality of antennas (101-105) thereby supporting a single cell having a coverage area corresponding to a combined coverage area of the plurality of antennas (101-105). The invention may allow reduced power consumption at low loading without sacrificing peak capacity. Mode changing may be triggered by time, loading of cell or loading of neighbour cell.

Title: Method of Operating a Compression Ignition Engine by Altering the Fuel Injection Timing Based on Sensed Engine Parameters.
Inventor: WOMERSLEY ROBERT
IPC: F02D1/02
Filed: 2009-03-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus of operating a compression ignition or diesel engine 10, the method includes sensing an engine temperature or a temperature associated with the engine with a first sensor S1, and providing an input to a controller 31, the controller operates a fuel injection pump 28 to deliver fuel to the engine according to a first timing regime when the sensed temperature is above a threshold temperature, and according to a second, advanced timing regime when the sensed temperature is below the threshold temperature. The method further includes sensing with a second sensor S2 a combustion chamber pressure and when the controller operates the fuel injection pump according to the second timing regime and the sensed pressure exceeds a threshold which indicates that the combustion chambers are operating above a desired maximum pressure, the fuel injection pump changes from the second, advanced timing regime to the first timing regime. The pressure sensor S2 may sense the actual pressure within the combustion chamber or a parameter which is indicative of the combustion chamber pressure such as exhaust gas pressure or the intake air pressure in the case of a turbocharged engine. The method is particularly aimed at preventing a maximum cylinder pressure being exceeded when the engine is initially started from cold and is particularly suitable for use on a diesel engine driving a generator that operates at a generally constant load.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric wave generating circuit arrangements
Inventor: MUDIE RONALD
IPC: H03K4/20
Filed: 1956-04-03
Abstract: 814,540. Sawtooth generator circuits. SERVOMEX CONTROLS Ltd. March 29, 1957 [April 3, 1956], No. 10101/56. Class 40 (6). A circuit for generating square, triangular and sawtooth waves which vary symetrically about earth or a common fixed potential comprises a bi-stable square wave generator which feeds a Miller integrating circuit. The Figure shows a generator in which the cathode coupled bi-stable trigger circuit comprising tubes 6, 7 is triggered by operating switch 2 so that it is connected to point B and successively moving switch 1 from position B to B, in this way a square wave A is produced at the anode of tube 7. The excursions of the anode voltages of tubes 6 and 7 are limited by the biased diodes 15, 16 and 21, 22 respectively. A desired proportion of the voltage A which is determined by the setting of potentiometer 26 is applied to a Miller integrating circuit 30, 35, 34, 52. The resulting triangular waveform is applied via stage 35 to produce a triangular waveform C at output 64, 65 which is symmetrical about earth. If switches 31, 32 are changed to either positions C or D resistor 29 is shunted by diode 33 either during the forward or return stroke of the triangular waveform, thus producing a sawtooth output voltage. Continuous operation of the generator may be obtained by operating switch 2 to position C so that the feedback circuit via line 70 is completed to the control grid of tube 6. If switches 71, 72 are moved to the positions C or D, only the negative or the positive pulses shown at B on line 70 will be fed back to the input stage so that only single forward or forward and return strokes of waves A and C in one sense or the other will be generated. If the point shown as connected to earth is connected to a some other common point, the output waveform will be symmetrical about the potential of this point.
